IN Meeting: GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE File # Date: Res. # � jy� � January 18, 1999 By -Law # Report #: —CS-02-99_ File : Subject: AQUATIC PROGRAM STATISTICS Recommendations: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report CS -02 -99 be received for information: 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 This report will provide members of Council with an overview of 1998 Aquatic program Statistics at all four aquatic facilities. 2.0 CLARINGTON FITNESS CENTRE 2.1 As reported last spring, the Clarington Fitness Centre has shown an expected decrease in swimming registration over the past year. This is due to the Courtice Community Complex opening however staff has noted a "levelling" of this decrease due to alternative and more aggressive programming which complements both facilities (Attachment #1, Figure 1.1). 3.0 COURTICE COMMUNITY COMPLEX 3.1 Since opening in September 1997, the Courtice Community Complex statistics indicate an increase of approximately 39% from fall 1997 to fall 1998 (Attachment #1, Figure 1.2). ../2 DECYCL ED EAP 1UU6 PAPER YCLE THLS IS PRIMEDQ RECYCLED PAPER R E P O R T CS -02 -99 - 2 - JANUARY 18, 1999 4.0 NEWCASTLE LIONS POOL AND ORONO PARK POOL 4.1 Newcastle Lions pool statistics indicate a slight decrease in summer program registrations of 3% (Attachment #2, Figure 2.2), however there was an increase in the number of public swim users. From summer 1997 to summer 1998 there was an increase of 11 %. As well, revenue increased by 12 %. 4.2 The Orono Park Pool showed a decrease in swim registration of 35% (Attachment #2, Figure 2.1 & 2.2). However, according to user statistics from public swims there was an increase of 18% in public swim attendance. As well, overall revenue increased by 13 %. 5.0 MEMBERSHIPS 5.1 The Courtice Community Complex and the Clarington Fitness Centre continue to offer the residents with various types of memberships for adults, youth, seniors and families. 5.2 The rates and fees structure, along with program opportunities allows all residents the ability to participate in a variety of leisure activities, which is available to all income brackets. 5.3 Statistics show the need to provide a variety of leisure activities to preserve an active lifestyle in the community (Attachment #3, Figure 3.1 & 3.2). 6.0 SCHOOL BOARD PROGRAM 6.1 Since September of 1997, staff developed a customized program for schools within Clarington and promoted these programs to be implemented into the school's curriculum. Participation in the Municipality of Clarington School Board program has increased from 731 during the 1996 -97 year to over 1,500 during the 1997 -98 year. Since September of 1998 385 students have participated in this program. These numbers reflect community interest and a need for alternative programming during school hours. 6.2 The school programs we offer target members of the community we would not normally reach through our municipal programs, perhaps due to shift work or irregular schedules not allowing them to attend evening and weekend classes. Also, with other activities such as hockey, skiing and skating becoming a priority especially in winter, children are still exposed to a safe lifestyle through water safety instruction. These students often continue to participate in the Municipality of Clarington's Advanced Leadership Programs which are not offered through the school programs. ..../3 10 UI REPORT CS -02 -99 7.0 CONCLUSION -3 - JANUARY 18, 1999 7.1 It may be assumed that aquatic program registration will continue to increase at the Courtice Community Complex due to continued growth in the area. Staff will monitor this trend in order to meet the needs of the community. 7.2 The Clarington Fitness Centre has shown a decrease in aquatic registration and swim admissions as a direct result of the Courtice Community Complex opening. However, this fall the decrease was significantly less. Staff is confident that by fall of 1999, through more aggressive programming techniques, this effect will be insignificant. Staff will monitor the situation and continue to offer programs to minimize the effect (Attachment #4). 7.3 Although some aquatic venues show an overall decrease in Summer Aquatic Programming, statistics indicate overall program registrations increased by 33 %. 7.4 Both the Orono Park Pool and the Newcastle Lions Pools saw an increase in both public swim attendance and revenue.
